Application led April 21,
to be carried upon the aprons and from whichposition the same may be swung to open positions to permit access to the tools without disturbing other occupants ofthe vehicle.
Another object of the inventionf-contemplates a brace member adapted to sustain the lid in an open position.
An additional object of the invention embodies a latch mechanism wholly disposed within the boxes whereby access thereto will be prevented to unauthorized persons.
A primary object of the latch mechanism embodies means for operating the same from the interior of the vehicle.
With the above and other objects in view, the invention further consists of the following novel features and details of construction, to be hereinafter more fully described,
illustrated in the accompanying drawings and pointed out in the appended claim.
In the drawings:
Figure 1 is a sectional view taken on line 1-1 of Figure 4.
Figure 2 is a lon itudinal sectional view taken on line 2-2 0% Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a detail sectional view ltaken through the box, apron and lid and illustrating the relationship of Figure 1.
Figure 4 is a sectional view taken on line 4-4 of Figure 1. j
Figure 5 is a view similar to Figure 4 with the lid sustained in an open position.l
Figure 6 is a sectional view taken on line 40 6-#6 of Figure 4.
Referring to the drawings in detail, wherein like characters of refaerence denote corresponding parts, the reference character 10 indicates a portion of an apron extended over the upper side of the chassis 1'1 of a motor vehicle, such as indicated at 12.
A running board 13 is extended outwardly from the apron and which in conjunction with said apron is adapted-for connection at the forward ends thereof with a front fender or mud guard 14.
As mentioned in the foregoing, my cardinal purpose is to provide a compartment or box which may be conveniently located immediately beneath the `aprons and which may be utilized for holding tools, accessories 1928. Serial No. 271,934.
and equipmentin order that the driver may readily haveaccess thereto without disturbing other occupants of the vehicle, as inthe instance of having tools or other equipments located beneath the seats.
The boxior compartment, asindicated at 15, is provided with an outstanding flange portion `16 uponl the innermost sido edge thereof `adapted-for connection with the underside of the apron 10 through the medium ofany suitable means for causing union.` `The forward side edge of the apron-is extended inwardly, as indicated at17 and thc apron upturned as indicated at 18. vThe portions 16 and 18 are located upon the opposite sides of an opening 20 in the apron. Said openingbeing' closed by a lid 21 hingedly mounted, as indicated at 22, upon .the upper side'of the apron 10. The hinge mounting is further provided with a spring member 23 adapted for use in conjunction with the apron and lid 21 to normally hold the 'lid in an upright position whereby had to the contents of the box. The `iange .18 upstanding from the peripheral edges of `the opening 20in the apron 10 is disposed immediately beneath a peripheral edge 25 .rolled or otherwise provided adjacent the edges of the lid or top 21 to prevent ingress of water and other extraneous matter within the box.` A brace member 26, carried upon the under side of the top or lid 21, adjacent the hinge connection 22, is provided with an offset extremity 27, adapted for engagement with the uppermost edge of the portion 18. When the lid 21 is swung to occupy the position as illustrated in Figure 5 of the drawings, the brace member 26 will ride over the portion 18. At such juncture the spring finger will flex and engage the offset end of the brace member to sustain the lid in the position shown. I
The spring finger when manually depressed will relinquish engagement with the brace member 26 and the lid 21 will then be swung on the hinge 22 to occupy a closed position.
access may be A latch nger 29, pivotally mounted, as v indicated at 30, upon a plate member 31, is provided with an enlarged end 32. A solenoid .33, carried within the ybox 15, is adapted to energize the enlarged end 32 of the latch finger 29 when enclosed in circuit with a motor vehicle source of current 34 through the medium of a switch member 35, the latter being preferably located upon the instrument panel of the vehicleadjacent the steering column. The solenoid being grounded upon the plate member 3l. A spring A36, carried by the latch finger 29 is adapted to normally hold the latch finger in the position shown in Figure 4 of the drawings. `A latch plate 37, carried upon'the underside of the lid or top 21, adjacent the outermost ,side edge thereof is provided with an opening, not shown., adapted to receive the uppermost and adjacentend of the latch finger 29 when the lid is closed. t A
It will be noted vfrom the foregoing description and accompanying drawings that in order to open the box, it is necessary to close the circuit between the motor vehicle source of current and solenoid by the switch member which is preferably of the push button type. The lid 2l is automatically shifted to occupy an open position, due to the presence of the spring 23 included inthe hinge barrel therefor.
Two or more of such compartments may be provided upon the sides of 'the/vehicles which may be utilized forcarryin'g tools, accessories and etc., and, which would be highly appreciated by Sportsmen inasmuch as the containers or boxes could effectively carry .ice to preserve game, etc.
The invention is susceptible of various f;
changes in its form, proportions and minor details of construction, and the right is herecarried by and upstanding yfrom the periphveralyedge of the box, a lid for the box -hingedly mounted upon the apron and-closing said opening, a `spring carried at and forming part of` the hinge mounting for the lid to normally'tension the latter to swing in onedirection, a brace member cai `ri-ed by thelid, and the rfree end of the brace being offset for engagement with the `adjacent portion of fthe flange when said lid visswung to occupy; an Vopen position.
'In'testi'mony whereof 'I vaflix my signature.
